unable to ping VIP from server with the F5 as the DGW
- Jul 07, 2023
so if it was suggested and I didnt see it I apoligize. The fix for me was to go to the virtual server that I was trying to access from the host nework (10.1.228.x) which used the F5 as its gateway and add the VLAN to the VLAN and tunnels section. it only had the ext vlan present and when I created the new network and new vlan (int_vlan) I needed to add it to that in order for it to connect to the VIPS
Tim_Patrick Would you be able to provide either screencaptures or CLI output for the virtual servers (VS) in question? Sometimes a VS will not respond on a certain IP if you have it listening only on certain VLANS but without your configuration it makes it a bit difficult to figure out what your issue might be. As Mohamed_Ahmed_Kansoh mentioned, if you do not enable SNAT automap or SNAT pool list your traffic balancing to the servers in that segment that doesn't have the F5 as the default gateway will not work. You might receive a bit more helpful information for troubleshooting using a tcpdump for your traffic that you are generating. The nice thing about the tcpdump that Mohamed_Ahmed_Kansoh provided is when you open it in wireshark it will show you what VS you are bound to and what interfaces your traffic traverses from source to destination.
